3.Listen and read. Who uses technology for school work? Alia 
I like TV! It isn’t very modern, but I love watching sports on TV. Sometimes I watch on my tablet, but I like the TV best because the screen is bigger!
I love my digital camera. It takes better photos than my smartphone, but the smartphone is good if you want to send photos quickly to your friends.
I often listen to audiobooks on my smartphone. I haven’t got a speaker. I use headphones, but sometimes I can’t hear when Mum calls me for dinner!
I think technology’s great, especially for doing school work. I always do homework on my laptop and send it to the school homework website.
